One More Nuclear Nightmare: Saudi Arabia

- Right Side News Back in 2005, the Prince spoke at an off-the-record meeting in a European capital. Then, he was still ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the UK. He sat right across from me, gave me a special greeting with his hands, the meaning of which was to be unveiled in a few seconds. My neighbor, a British Lord, adviser to various prime ministers, explained I had just received a Royal greeting “...He probably thinks you are a distant cousin...” Little did the prince know that at the end of his speech I would ask why did Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world waited to save the Iraqi people from Saddam’s tyranny....? And... why does Saudi Arabia worry about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so much and not about their own problems, like radical Islam and terrorism, to name just two... After all, I asked, the Israeli-Palestinian ‘conflict’ does not even touch Saudi Arabia and it roughly affects 30 million people -compared to the 1.3 Billion Muslims in the world.
